Esmeraldo Peña Obituary
Tony was known for his strong work ethic and lively personality. He enjoyed playing the numbers, relaxing with a beer, and spending time with friends over a game of dominoes. He loved sitting by the window watching the news and could often be found outside socializing with his neighbors at the Twin Towers, where he lived.
He is survived by his sons, Anthony and Mannix Peña; his grandchildren, Nazleea A. Peña, Mannix E. Peña, Mason E. Peña, and Anthony Y. Peña; his brothers and sisters, Mariano, Cora, Eva, Micky, Neida, Luis, Daniel, and Orlando Peña; and his stepdaughters, Iris and Ivette Vega.
Family and friends are invited to attend visitation on December 13, 2025, from 4:00–7:00 PM at Keenan Funeral Home, 238 Elm Street, West Haven.
